NDE is composite that its individual elements may be explained by physical psychological & social facts. Imaginative beings from meaningful wholes out of elements of sensation perception, language, memory & so forth.
In acts of telling, retelling NDE takes shapes of unified & unifying whole.
NDE depends on treating them as symbolic expression that can never be translated, into direct observation or exact concept.
Religious experience is symbolic rather than descriptive. Vision convey something real there is no reliable way to formulate what that something is their visions are too culturally specific. We cant crack their symbolic code when you are almost a sleep very frighted or dying the model from the senses will be confused & unstable fantasies & imagery might become more stable than sensory model & so seem realsusan Blackmore. Conclusion
Our thought has dramatic effect on our body mind is wonderful oursome thing. Think of overange șlice, juicy flow, aromatic smell, imagine picking up & putting into y our mouth & sucking juicy fruit your mouth will become watery. Measure your Blood pressure think about episode which made you angry after 2-3 minutes measure blood pressure, certainly it will be slightly high. Do opposite think happy moments which releases & relaxing neurotransmitter in brain shows +ve effects like wise when you think of heaven, hell God, or after life what we have learnt since childhood, thought at near state of meditation or Samadhi or sleep, conscious or unconscious we get vision or dream, illusion, or hallucination of God, or life review or vision of heaven, hell tunnel light phonic of photic different or any type of experience feeling emotion which satisfies our desire. .
NDEs like various drug effects produces varied experience dissociated, chaotic, idiosyncratic, which are more orderly, logical definable, practical whose memory is clean & memorable.
NDE is denial of death, a hallucinating wish fulfillment, defending the ego.
NDEer review, his whole life at nearing death & when he has guilty feeling or emotion he regrets fro misdeeds done in his life & fear of hell gives him thoughts of hellish activity & he experiences dreadful & horrible dreams or visions. 1. feeling of peace & tremendous well being which you feel during sleep. 2. No bodily sensation as in dream or sleep
